it seems to be a bug in the Firmwareversion 1.06, F-OHT-DC-1004-231: The Max-HR is not calculated 220-age but always 200 independent from the year of birth. The Max HR can´t be set manually, only 5 individual zones can be set manually. This can be done in % of Max HR or absolute in HR.It would be fine you have to set the zones in percent of HR max. (or the anaerobic treasure, I would prefer) only one time. When HF max. (or anaerobic treasure) changes, you only have to change this one manually and than the zones in absolute are changed automatically because of the relative setting.

Hi Longjog,

I think, you are wrong ! There is no bug ! When you go the "Cardio Settings" , the second line contains the option "Custom" or "Use Max". When you select "Use Max" the zones are calculated accordingto the absolute maximum of 200bpm. When you use "Custom", the zones are calculated (somehow) basedon your age.

Hello Hubert,there is no sense calculating the heartrate zones according to the absolute maximum of the watch. It would have sense, if the zones are calculated on base of the individual max. HR of the athlete. If you select Custom in the second line, the zones aren´t "calculated (somehow)" like you are writing, but you have to set every single value manually.

The bug is, the max. heartrate didn´t change if you change your year of birth.Please read the manual, which came on the CD with the watch. Max Heartrate should be calculated 220 - age, but it isn´t.

Hi Longjog !

Yes - you are completely right ! After having a more detailed look at these functions, I agree to everything you said.And as Geoffrey already told, that manual HFmax setting will be included, I'm sure that also the zonecalculation will be corrected.Sorry for my confusion !

Dear all:

We are going to implement manual Max HF and correct 220-Age into next firmware. As well we will improve Avg PACE calculation. Let's step by step to evaluate it.

Geoffrey, In addition to Longjogs requests I would like to add my requests to the list:

1. Possibility to set LAP AVG HR in Custom Lap-Page (maybe open up the entire range of LAP features for the custom lap page?)2. Possibility to set HR MAX in Cardio-Settings manualy3. Change the size of the lap alert page and increase the font! Page can cover entire screen and font can be at least twice as big.4. Remove the delay when pressing buttons if this is possible in the software, I like the watch to react instantly to pressing the buttons.5. Add the interval workout features you developed for the OEM project mentioned in another thread!

Hi Jonas,

The first two items will be included, the others we are discussing and think the feasibility. For the last, it will be better to implement when virtual trainer be confirmed.

Tomorrow, the new firmware will be released to your all mail box, please note that.

Geoffrey, I will update watch with the new firmware as soon as I get it in the mail. Will the new firmware include updated Virtual Trainer? I was gong to try VT out today, but there is no point to that if it is changed already.

What kind of delay? Only display showing? I would like to know detail to take away the all concerns.

Sincerely,

Geoffrey

Hi Geoffrey,

when I press LAP, the acoustic signal and the display are delayed. If this is only optical it would be okay. But there is an irritation. It would be better it the signal comes directly with the pressing of the button.

An other point is the (alarm-)signal-situation. The watch is not reacting, when pressing a button (LAP, up, down or Enter) while alarm-signal or LAP-Information is shown in the display.This is very angrily, for example when you have a continous heartrate-alarm and you only can set a lap-time or stop the time when alarm-window is not shown.
